I think I'll get my hair cut.
That "Ragtime" picture below got me thinking about how much I used to enjoy the god-like telly genius of Fred Harris when I was wee. "Play School" was at its best was he was on it and I used to love that great big calculator he had on ITV's "Make It Count" - I always fancied one of those for myself.
When Jona Lewie came along in the early '80s, I always used to think it was Fred Harris going under a different name (just you try telling the difference!).
Now, if Fred Harris is god-like, where does that leave the one-man entertainment centre that was Derek Griffiths?
2 of you could be arsed to comment about this post:
Jona Lewie - when I watched BBC2's Xmas Top of the Pops, he was on doing "Stop the Cavalry" and, as I watched, I thought to myself, he looks like Terry Dactyl of Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs, one of Jonathoon King;s made up groups of the early 70's - biggest hit, "Seaside Shuffle" summer of '72 (in cact make that only hit, probably). Then the litle subtitle came up to say I was right...
By the way - how annoying are Steve Wright's voiceovers on TOTP2?? Why can't they just play the videotape and scroll some info on the bottom of the screen - that man is one more for your (yet to be established but you know who'd be in it) "Gallery of Wanks"
CBQ is spot on about Steve Wright and his voiceovers. In fact, he annoys me so much that I'll have to go away and do a post about him now!
